Wall painting uncovered at William Morris house

The mural depicts (l to r) Adam,
Eve, Noah, Rachel and Jacob

Conservation work at the former home of designer
William Morris in south-east London has uncovered a mural in which some of
Britain's most important pre-Raphaelite artists may have had a hand.

The mural was
designed for what was the bedroom of Morris and his wife Jane.

It depicts five
biblical figures and had been concealed behind a cupboard.
